The International Cricket Council (ICC) has asked the Pakistan Cricket Board to drop the legal proceedings it initiated against the council after it removed Pakistan as a host nation for the 2011 World Cup due to security fears.



Pakistan were scheduled to host 14 World Cup matches, but those have been switched to the three other co-hosts, India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.



The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) last week served legal notice to the ICC and also wanted the game\'s governing body to refer the issue to a tribunal of the Court of Arbitration for Sports.
